I was thinking of Ricky Martin's Cup of Life when I found this instead. I thought this would be okay as my very first MM entry for 2010. I hope you find this as wonderful as I did.

What a profound story! Honestly, I would have grabbed a plan ol' coffee cup and not the crystal. So, what's that say about me? I guess I am far too practical and prefer the simple things.

Thanks for sharing such a great little find! Happy MM!

Cup of coffee- great analogy. :)
It's funny, reminds me of the conversation I had with a friend a few days ago, about how you tend to take things for granted until you have nothing, and learn to love life (or the coffee) for what it is. Gonna have to remember that story.. Thanks for posting it.

A little boy's tiara

It's a week abundant with life's little pleasures, and I'm enjoying such a great Friday mood with the FFF ladies over at Susanne's Living to Tell the Story . If you are dropping by from Mommy Moments, please scroll down a bit; thank you. Now the highlights of my week -- 1. Birthday dinner at Cabbages and Condoms . A friend put up with my fondness for dining out and exploring restaurants. C & C supports social development programs of the PDA, an organization that complements the Thai government's effort to promote family planning. 2. Cafe de Tu . We took the sky train to get to a posh mall for dessert. There's a lovely ambience for a slice of chocolate banana cake and a long glass of iced lemon tea.

Newborn Days and Foggy Mornings

Friday's Fave Five: Foggy Mornings (Please scroll down for Mommy Moments) i. Refund . The business office refunded my visa problem expenses. I had to pay the fine but they took care of everything else which was a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect them to and I already conditioned my mind to face a few deprivations.

Foreign employees are sometimes treated like necessary evil around here. But well, it's the refund that's the fave. ii. Foggy mornings . I counted two early mornings of fog. I could not see buildings 2 minute-walk away. The illusion of cold made me smile. iii. Bible Heroes , Ceejay's new DVD interest. He never wanted to watch it when he was 3. I'm glad he's back to christian stuff. For now it's goodbye, Buddhism. iv. Phone conversation with Mama . Mozart's (on left side
